What exactly is misrepresentation? Is it my fault then? Since I filled out all the paperwork and put something down that didn't look right? 

No.  They expected one answer and got another.  It may mean that he was not familiar with the relationship information that was in the petition.  They asked him a question that they already knew the answer for and his answer didn't match what they needed to hear.  The misrepresentation was on his end during the interview.  Did he review the petition before you sent it?

I'd guess it's a combination of three things

 

1 - high fraud area

2 - he's a guy. usually US guys bring foreign girls...not the other way around

3 - something he said didn't align with your application

 

are you guys of a different race, by the way?

Attach their silly letter to the email.

I don't mean to be harsh but that letter is anything but silly.  While we don't know all the facts it is a letter that may prevent her loved one from ever being allowed into the States.  It states that there was a misrepresentation and fraud to illegally try to get a US Visa.  That silly letter is VERY serious.

 

I feel so bad for both of them but I also believe there we are not getting all of the story.  I believe other questions were asked that the beneficiary either forgot or has decided not to share.

This is very weird.. I mean, it looks like the questions weren't very specific at all to get a denial..

Unless there were other questions that the CO asked that the beneficiary is not sharing with the petitioner.

We are both Cambodian. My aunt and his grandmom are bestfriends and that's how we were introduced

So, what about you emmigrating to Cambodia to be with him, then? Instead of him coming here? I mean, if you already speak khmer. And, further, what would his reaction be if you suggested this?

Yeah we reviewed everything together. So does this mean it's a life time ban?

That's what i thought! It all sounds weird, I hope she really knows him and it's some kind of misunderstanding.. either way it's a pretty hard situation

He told me to come live in cambodia. But I don't think I want to. America is my home. I'm doing great for myself and I wouldn't know what to do over there.

I'll hop on the speculation bandwagon as well...maybe the CO thought the aunt was setting you up with him as a means to petition others in the future. It's not unheard of for relatives to setup this kind of arrangement.

 

Back to non-speculation...that denial letter is serious and something isn't adding up. I have no idea what, but the CO saw something that they really thought didn't match what was stated in the interview on in existing paperwork.

Well, I'd definitely retain a lawyer then, otherwise you might have some tough decisions to make....

That is up to DHS.  I wouldn't worry about that now.  Right now focus on finding out why the CO believes there was fraud.  It was your aunt that introduced you?  Could he have said it was his?  Is the aunt in Cambodia?  It is possible that it was simple confusion.  Focus on the problem right now.  Figure out what they believe was the misrepresentation.

I am very aware of the gravity of the accusation.  I hope you are also aware of how many K1 petitions get denied followed by marriage and approval at the CR1 interview.

Not many that were denied due to fraud.  There are denials for other red flags but fraud generally will stay with the beneficiary forever.  That is the concern.  It is possible that he will be banned from any future consideration.

Ok so am I just calling the embassy of Cambodia to figure that out? The CO wouldn't speak to him about it.

 

Yes that's my aunt. She lives here in the states. My aunt and his grandmom who is in cambodia talk on the phone almost every week.
